The IGF Secretariat is seeking a couple of names for a civil society<br>
closing speaker. Some people may have received Subi Chaturvedi's mail<br>
about this, but due to a mailing list misconfiguration, now fixed, some<br>
may not have. (The misconfiguration also means we are missing a couple<br>
of months of archived messages.)<br>
<br>
To make sure that all constituencies have input into this choice, the<br>
civil society coordination group is proposing to forward the names, and<br>
our task is to come up with some suggestions from within the Best Bits<br>
community to feed into that process.<br>
<br>
I would like to get the ball rolling by suggesting the name of Dr Burcu<br>
Kilic, who works for Public Citizen mainly on trade and access to<br>
medicines issues. She is Turkish so she has a good perspective on the<br>
political situation there. I have worked with her for several years on<br>
the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement and have admired her diplomacy,<br>
her scholarship and her development orientation. I have checked with<br>
her, and she would be willing to serve if nominated.<br>
<br>
Please follow up with other names, or with your support for names<br>
already expressed.<br>
